The bar I was in went dark like a cave. Emergency lighting came on. What was interesting was the entire bar got silent, you could of heard a pin drop. It was like somebody put smoke on a bee hive.

There was a big red dot over Fairfax a couple of mornings ago. We were without power for about 45 minutes (9:20 a.m. till about 10:05 a.m.). I think it was Thursday morning.

yeah thanks trogdor and gravis, i mean when your driving down 50 and the signals start working backwards and the lights of houses and shopping centers go completely dark it kinda catches you off guard.
